it must have been something he said as someone saw fit to list it in the urban dictionary, I guess one of his friends did it? Perhaps he used it as a nickname for her

I've never heard it before too, but I knew what it meant right away. Believe it or not some girls would love to be told that in private.

He got it wrong: She was a 3 wonder, a master of 3 (weapons) by the sounds of it. Whooped him good.

not just here but all over the media, they called it the biggest case since Casey Anthony but I dont see how since not nearly as much discovery has been made public, harldy any infact.

Its 10 am there what are they doing?

It doesn't surprise to me that the trial isn't getting more attention. This case got a a very tiny amount of national coverage from the day Travis was found dead to the day the trial began. Just do a search for Jodi Arias on the national news websites. The media cannot just spring a trial on the American public for a case that most of them have never heard of them, and expect them to eat up every detail. There needs to be a "build up" of significant coverage of the investigation leading to the trial.

As for "biggest trial since Casey" that is just sensationalism. It's a way to sell the case. You want to make people think they are missing something *huge*. Everyone else is following it; Why aren't you? It's hype, basically.

Just saying: she wanted more, he used her, she prolly thought she would wear him down with sex, and it didn't work. He moved on while still bedding her, and she got really mad.

I agree. She got used and she couldn't handle that. She took her control back by killing him.

Has anyone in her family been interviewed by media? Does she have family?

I do not think it falls that far from the election and no this is not a political off topic, other than there was the binder full of applicants statement, here we have a 3 hole binder, much the same thing.

Give it time, it's only just begun. I bet it catches on .

:floorlaugh:

She won't get the DP. More men on the jury, she's pretty. Won't happen. As for the women: women don't like being disrespected.

If Arizona had sunshine laws it would be a bigger case. We have to wait to see what they'll put out there. I doubt we'll ever see any of the evidence the prosecution decided not to use.

What you said makes a lot of sense. I don't see it being anything like the Casey Anthony case other than JA is a LOT like her with regards to her lies, lies, lies, narcissism, lies, lies, narcissism and lies.

 

[HarvestMoon]

Has anyone in her family been interviewed by media? Does she have family?

I think her sister, perhaps. Read about her. Jodi is from Yreka Ca.

Wonder if the ropes/tassels were tiebacks for curtains somewhere in the house. Could they have been used earlier during sex or did she somehow rope him up and stab him then untie him?

I was thinking along the same lines. The photos taken of him posing in the shower (right before he is attacked) I heard that these photos were taken from the waist up so I don't know if any show his hands or if he was tied up at that point and finally broke free to get some defensive wounds on his hands but by that time too much damage had been done to the poor guy.

She could have taken the bulk of whatever was left of the tassels/ropes with her and destroyed it. Did it look to like the tassels were just wet or was that coagulated blood soaking them? That's what it looked like to me.

Another similarity is that both Casey and Jodi can be marketed as gorgeous. They are young, thin, and like to party. That isn't to say that they are truly attractive women, but the media can "sell" that aspect to the American public without looking too outrageous. This is what I always say about media coverage: It's not what you are, but what you can be marketed as.

I'm getting complaints about some "adult rated" posts. That's the best way I can describe it. Let's move away from that and stay focused on the trial please. :tyou:
